There is nothing wrong with enjoying a good deal. But when you find yourself in the middle of all the excitement, it is worth remembering what is happening inside your brain, and who truly benefits.

Black Friday is a psychological event, carefully designed to take advantage of how your brain makes decisions. But you can stay one step ahead this sales season.

Middle Eastern lemon and pistachio cookies (ma’akaroon). Credit: Ebury Books
Ingredients
125 g pistachios, finely ground
125 g ground almonds (almond meal)
100 g caster sugar
½ tsp mastic, ground (replace with vanilla if you don't have)
¼ tsp baking powder
2 tsp finely chopped preserved lemon
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
3 tsp runny honey
1 egg, lightly whisked
15 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
2–3 tbsp icing sugar, sifted
Chilling time: 30 minutes.
Instructions
Line a large oven tray with baking parchment.
Put the ground pistachios, ground almonds, sugar, mastic, baking powder and ⅛ teaspoon of salt into a large mixing bowl and mix well, just enough to combine everything together.
Add the preserved lemon, lemon zest, vanilla, honey, egg and butter and give everything a good mix, using a wooden spoon or spatula. The mixture should be slightly sticky.
Place the icing sugar on a large plate and start rolling the batter into walnut-size balls, about 30 g each. Gently roll the balls in the icing sugar, making sure that they are well coated on all sides, and place on the prepared tray, evenly spaced out (or freeze – see Note). Cover the tray and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 175°C fan-forced and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they start to get a bit of colour. Leave them to cool completely before serving.

Galette des rois (from Plat Du Tour)
Galette des rois is a classic French dessert also known as a "King cake”. This traditional dish hides a special surprise inside for whoever is lukcy enough to receive it in their slice, and is served in France during the celebration of the Epiphany.

Ingredients
100 g butter, softened
100 g caster sugar
2 tbsp plain flour
100 g almond meal
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
1 orange, finely zested
Salt
1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
1 tbsp cream
2 sheets butter puff pastry
A fève, optional (see Note)
Chilling time: 20 minutes.
Instructions
1. To make the filling, in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment fitted, beat the butter, sugar, flour, almond meal, vanilla seeds, orange zest and a pinch of salt until pale and fluffy. Add 1 whole egg and beat until just incorporated.
2. Combine the egg yolk and cream in a small bowl, for the egg wash, then set aside.
3. Roll the puff pastry sheets out to 4 mm thick, then cut out 2 x 22 cm circles. Line a baking tray with baking paper, then place one pastry circle onto the prepared tray (keep the second pastry circle refrigerated until needed). Use a fork to prick holes into the pastry on the prepared tray.
4. Use an offset spatula to spread the filling over the pastry, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges. Place the fève (or coin) in the filling if desired. Brush the border around the pastry with egg wash, then carefully place the second chilled pastry layer over the filling and gently press the edges to seal. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before baking (this helps the pastry keep its shape while baking).
5. Once almost ready to bake, preheat the oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan-forced). Crimp the edges of the pastry with a fork to help seal the edges. Decorate the top of the pastry with a sharp knife, if you like. Brush the top of the galette with the remaining egg wash.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown and the base is cooked. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!

After pooling the data, this study showed: there was no meaningful difference in cognitive performance between fasted and satiated healthy adults.

Intermittent fasting can have health benefits, but does being hungry affect our cognitive abilities? Here’s what all the evidence tells us.
